Tuukka Rask in the home net for skate. Malcolm Subban also on the ice, but Gustavsson's the goalie in the other net facing shots.

So to recap: looks like David Pastrnak is back up with David Krejci's line, and the healthy scratches on the forward side are likely to be Joonas Kemppainen and Tyler Randell. On defense, Trotman's up with Chara, Colin Miller getting the nod as the puck-mover with Seids, and Torey Krug and Kevan Miller form the third pairing.
Tuukka Rask, again, is expected to get the nod.
For the Toronto Maple Leafs, they were last seen with this set-up, per @leftwinglock:
Forward Lines:
Michael Grabner - Nazem Kadri - Leo Komarov
Peter Holland - Tyler Bozak - Pierre-Alexander Parenteau
Shawn Matthias - Nick Spaling - Joffrey Lupul
Rich Clune - Byron Froese - Daniel Winnik
You can sort of see why the Leafs have struggled offensively of late, though that first line shouldn't be slept on, the Power Play generates a lot of chances, and the depth scoring is pretty not-awful when you squint at that third unit. Note that when I did the preview post, I forgot that Lupul also has cracked double digits goals with 11, though only 3 Assists.
D-Pairings:
Dion Phaneuf - Frank Corrado
Jake Gardiner - Roman Polak
Matt Hunwick - Morgan Rielly
And In Net:
James Reimer (confirmed)
Jonathan Bernier

See you all around 7!
